With dental bridges, patients can prevent problems caused by multiple lost permanent teeth. Replacing missing teeth improves the look and overall health of your smile.

Traditional vs. Implant Bridges

To attach traditional bridges, we numb the teeth and prepare the anchor teeth. We remove a portion of the enamel to prepare the teeth for the dental crowns. Then, we take impressions of the teeth. We send these impressions to a dental lab to fabricate the dental bridge and crowns. Additionally, we attach a temporary bridge while the permanent bridge is made. Once complete, we will attach the dental bridge and crown. We may take time to temporarily attach the bridge and then permanently attach the prosthetic later.

For an implant-supported bridge, we need to ensure that patients have enough bone tissue to support their implants. Then, an oral surgeon places the implants beneath the gum tissue. Over a period of three to six months, the implant posts fuse with the jaw bone tissue. Then, once the implants are healed, we attach the permanent dental bridge.
